Skymet forecasts bleak monsoon over next 4 weeks

“After making landfall on 15 June, Cyclone Biparjoy may bring scattered unseasonal rainfall over Rajasthan, Delhi, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh later in the third week of June. However, these will not be the typical monsoon rains, said Skymet. Moreover, these untimely rains may not even benefit the agriculture operations," Skymet said in its extended-range forecast. Monsoon rains are crucial, primarily over the core monsoon zone that includes Maharashtra, Telangana, Chhattisgarh, Bihar and East Uttar Pradesh. This year's southwest monsoon onset over Kerala happened seven days late. Usually, monsoon rains reach India's mainland by 1 June, and there hasn't been a delay beyond 8 June in the last two decades. The monsoon season, from June to September, delivers over one-third of India’s annual rainfall. This is vital for agriculture, refilling water reservoirs and aquifers, and meeting power demands. More than half of India’s cultivable land depends on rain, and the Skymet's extended range forecast projects most areas of central and northwest India will experience extreme and severe dry conditions until 6 July. It classifies 'extreme' dryness as 60% or less than normal rainfall, and 'severe' dryness as a rainfall deficit between -20% and -59%. Since 1 June, the country has experienced a 57% rain shortfall, with the south peninsula, central India, and east and northeast India facing 63%, 71%, and 84% deficiencies, respectively. On a brighter note, northwest India received a mo...

Delhi: Heat wave continues to batter NCR, maximum temperature reaches 41 degrees Celsius

The IMD has predicted strong surface winds during the day, with a speed of 25-35 kmph, and the maximum temperature is expected to hover around 42 degrees Celsius. Delhi can expect hotter days ahead with the IMD predicting clear skies and dry weather over the next few days. Though the Met office has not predicted a heatwave for at least a week, such conditions may occur at isolated places. Even though the southwest monsoon reached Kerala on June 8, a week after the usual date of June 1, the overall rainy days would see a delay of a week. The central and western parts of India, which form the core monsoon zone, may also face challenges in coping with the drying effects due to inadequate rainfall early in the season, Skymet Weather said. The southwest monsoon reached Kerala on June 8, a week after the usual date of June 1. Impact of Cyclone Biparjoy on Monsoons: Cyclone Biparjoy in the Arabian Sea first delayed the monsoon onset over Kerala and is now impeding the advance of the rain-bearing system, preventing it from reaching the interior regions of the peninsula, the private agency said. While monsoon rains usually cover Maharashtra, Odisha, and half of Telangana, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, and Bihar by June 15, the monsoon stream is still grappling to settle over these areas.

Delhi to remain hot, good rains likely around June 18

Delhi and the NCR region have been witnessing high temperatures and heat has been picking up. At present, Delhi is witnessing a change in pattern on two accounts. The first one is that the storm is sending some southwesterly winds across the Rajasthan region up to Delhi. Another one is the western disturbance which has been causing some weather activity over the hills and the foothills. This may cause some isolated sprinkles or minor weather activity during the evening hours over the next two to three days. However, as far as the heat is concerned, Delhi is expected to remain hot. Once the storm crosses land and moves towards Rajasthan, we can expect some good rains, i.e. around June 18, over Delhi and the NCR region. Before that, only sporadic activity is expected.
